Just got this in today and tested it out.
Why didn't they make this from the beginning??
It clamps on instead of having to be screwed on, which was super annoying when freezing outside.
I don't have 2 fridges, just alpicool 35 or a 55 quart depending on how long I'm camping.
My 120w panel keeps my 1000wh battery topped off as long as it's sunny. I can go indefinitely with this setup. If I were to want to run 2 fridges, I'd bring an extra set of solar panels, like my 220w...
I use a cheap pourover with peruvian ground (my wife is peruvian and has coffee shipped here lol).
Sometimes even the korean instant coffee, which is actually really good (compared to other instant coffee).
I wont even use a filter, if theres debris in there, whatever.
I try to minimize energy use, but as a chef, I need a cast iron pan. No comparison for certain foods. Need a crust on my steaks or toasted breads.
Im not sure id ever bring a microwave to camp.
Looking for a tiny toaster oven though, something that could do 1 steak or sandwich at a time.
Ive...
Im not sure if i measured a morning cook, but I'd say less than 200 watts total.
Small pans and pot heats up quickly.
Downside to this is i don't think titanium works, I mainly use cast iron pans and a small stainless pot.
Thanks for that information.
I made a list of lesser known trails as well. Worst case scenario, I can ask the visitors center or Rangers.
Yeah, usually I go in the winter, when there's less people. But I wanted to do a trip before summer rolls in. I stay home when it's warm out until things...
Doing a quick 4 day trip to sedona in a few days.
My mom and her BF decided they want to go.
They have a rubicon with a 22' trailer, but stock wheels and tires, so limited on where they can go and camp. I'm camping on the trails.
This will be exciting! I've been there many times before, but...
I love solo camping, and I love winter!
My favorite combination.
Normally I prefer to camp solo (just with my dogs), but my friends usually try planning trips together. My dogs and their dogs do not mix well, so it's a pain to babysit which dogs are out at what time etc.
When solo, I just keep...
I have dogs, but not a service dog.
My wife and I talked about the possibility when I had a heart pump (LVAD) as the heart pressure and medication caused me to black out time to time.
I think a service dog would be smart to have if you had a similar issue and your dog could go out and retrieve...
I started camping in the early 80s. As soon as I was born pretty much. My parents love camping and took us no matter our age.
At first it was my dad's dodge van. 2wd and we just packed it full of camp stuff.
Then my mom got a VW Vanagon. Thing was cool, fairly spacious and had an internal...
For inside my cargo, I use bungee cords or tie down straps for the battery (ecoflow) and fridge (alpicool). These held my battery, fridge, and bottlejack in place when I rolled over in Moab.
For cargo on roofrack, I use larger straps.
Also use these for random tools, like shovel and tow rope...
Why i always keep my tools in my jeep. You never know what could happen.
Air compressor, deflator.
Impact wrenches, sockets and bits.
Tire repair kit.
Plenty of ratchet straps, bungee cords, and paracord.
One you can afford and repair on the trail.
Anything with 4x4 and high clearance will do.
Then it'll be storage space and aftermarket support.
I think toyota tacoma/4runner is the most popular choice.
Jeep wrangler would be better if you offroad as well.
Toyota is more reliable on the road, and...
